Hello. I’m trying to power up / home an Integrex 100 that’s been sitting a few months. After the system boots, the following alarm appears:
“22 Feedback System Malfunction (5,0,&0025)”

According...

Thanks DJ, but I'm still confused... doesn't the drawbar screw into the right angle head? Isn't loosening it the last step to release it? Even though the allen screws are loose, the quill is already...

Hello. I'm looking at a manual Bridgeport that's going to be for sale, but the seller was not the former operator of the machine. When going to remove the right angle attachment that is currently on...

Hi kenrbass, I’m in Louisville KY. I very much like the idea of using WinCNC. And actually, buying it from SS (even at $2,600) is still going to be cheaper than getting it from WinCNC, since it’s a...

In a bit of a quandary here and looking for some input..... I purchased an older 4896 a few months ago without a controller / computer. Everything else appears to be present - electronics box with...

Curious... how long will the discounted intro pricing apply?

This looks like an amazing controller option, has anyone tried these yet? If it performs reliably, and as advertised, 500 bucks sounds like a bargain. Although if it doesn't... 500 bucks is a lot for...

Actually, one more question along these lines....... when I get said VFD, do I need to ramp up the power coming from the VFD in some way, and if so what parameters should I use? Or can it just be...

Great! Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for the info!!



Sorry, but I'm obviously a newb....does that include Automation Direct's house brand (GS / DURApulse series)? Or should I only stick with major manufacturers? The ones I...

Hello, I have a small Becker Rotary Vane vacuum pump (VT series 1.2hp) that I need a 3ph power for. I only have 1ph of course in my shop. I called Becker directly and they said a rotary phase...

Just curious, does anyone offer tech support via phone for Mach3 or just DIY machines in general? As helpful and as wonderful as these forums are and especially for FREE at that, sometimes I need a...

Thanks Gerry! How do I determine if it's the macropump or a plugin? Then how do I disable it? I know there is a plugins folder, do I just remove the file from that folder?
Sorry, I don't know much...

I just got the router, and the previous owner had the motor's speeds turned WAY down like, 40ipm. Although you could jog all the axis with no problem, they were miserably slow. So I decided to go...

Then why does the encoder board go back to the PC via a second parallel port, and why is there an encoder tab in Mach3? I realize Mach3 does not "see" the encoders as in a closed-loop system, but it...

I currently have Mach3 running a small Router using steppers w/ US digital encoders via a Sound Logic encoder interface (from Rogers Machine). The encoders seem to be causing a bit of a problem, and...

In other words, I want to make sure I'm getting maximum use out of my spindle's power (safely) without overloading it.

I'm assuming I will need to add a meter to measure the Current it's using at...

What?! A $2600 atc 30-taper spindle? What kind? Where?

Interesting video louieatienza! Although, now I'm even more confused......how you stall the motor while its running, even for a second, shouldn't that prompt an error with the encoder? Is there a...

That's what I had understood to be the case. As it is now the motors want to run, but the encoders keep tripping the Mach3 Reset as soon as any axis starts to move. I don't think it's a motor tuning...

Thanks for the input guys! I'm still new to all this so your help is much appreciated. The drives have the power supply integrated. It appears the voltage is 160v with a selectable current of 0.1-6.0...

In short, I think I know the answer......being No.

Here's why I'm asking. Last week I purchased a small (approx 3x3) DIY Router that is very heavily built, with a welded steel frame, heavy...

In that case you have no reason to be worried, or waste your time complaining on a forum about it.

I'm in!! Already have arrangements to arrive Sunday and attend the larger part of Mon-Wed. - Nardis

Hello,

I'd like to expand my knowledge and ability in the Automated Mfg. / CNC world. I'm 27 and currently support myself working in a small shop designing and cutting various parts on a small CNC...

Typical...... 5 minutes after I posted this thread, I fixed the problem by redrawing all 6 half circles on the inside "whiskers". I'd still like to hear what techniques others use with OneCNC though....

Hello. I desperately need some help or suggestions with this drawing!

I have been using OneCNC for almost 3 years now and this is a problem I REGULARLY encounter. This drawing needs to be pocketed...

Hello,

This morning the Dell laptop that I was using for all of my CAD/CAM programming COMPLETELY CRASHED..... not to mention all of the personal photos and documents that are completely lost....

YES...by all means, it is THE SHOW to attend. I went to 4 days of it in '06 and don't think I saw the same thing twice. The show only happens every Two years, so this is your chance! Just about 9...

Hey Chris, I thought you were on the road with The Black Crowes??
